Korean media reported that Jinyoung (GOT7) was invited to star in tvN's new weekend drama titled "100 Days of Lies", about a notorious pickpocket in Gyeongseong (now Seoul, Korea) who became an undercover agent by working in a fake capacity.
According to Jinyoung's management company, he is currently actively reviewing the proposal, while in November last year, Kim Yoo Jung was revealed to be in the process of negotiating to play the female lead.
Currently, Jinyoung and Kim Yoo Jung's characters have not been revealed too much. However, 100 Days of Lies was written by Ryu Bo Ri - the screenwriter of Do you like Brahms?, Trolley... and directed by Yoo In Shik - the creator of the film Weird Lawyer Woo Young Woo, the series The Doctor received attention.
If the two stars accept, the project will soon start filming after completing the preparation stage, and is expected to air in 2026.
Currently, Jinyoung is busy filming JTBC's new drama "Shining". This is his latest project after the success of the movie A Seoul unknown.
The story revolves around the love story of train driver Yeon Tae Oh (Jinyoung) and hotel employee Mo Eun Ah (Kim Min Ju). At the age of 19, Tae Oh had a tragic accident, losing his parents and seriously injuring his younger brother. His first love with Eun Ah also suddenly ended.
After 11 years - at the age of 30, the duo suddenly met again. Not only healing past wounds, they once again continued to write unfinished love stories. Thanks to each other, Tae Oh and Eun Ah have a "light to light up the way", and a hopeful future.
Before filming, Jinyoung expressed his love for Shining as it is a classic romance film. Previously, the male artist often played roles with difficult love affairs and many difficulties, but this time he had the opportunity to play a different role. However, with a somewhat difficult script and character, Jinyoung said that he would try to do well in the role.
Meanwhile, Kim Yoo Jung is taking time to rest after filming Dear X with Kim Young Dae.
The work is based on a webtoon (online comic), telling the story of Baek Ah Jin (Kim Yoo Jung) - a famous actress who achieved success by taking advantage of others and Yoon Joon Seo (Kim Young Dae) - a man who was willing to commit to hell to save her.
Previously, the actress shared that she was hesitant to participate in the film because the original work was very famous, the character she played seemed difficult to express. However, after meeting and talking with the director, the "national sister" had the confidence to participate.
